Author's Comment: I thought of this a couple days ago and after outlining it with a friend, I just had to write it out since I just see Shou and Nao as being shy and awkward when it comes to something like this. Enjoy!

Saga sighed as he watched Nao “subtly” staring at Shou while the vocalist sipped his water. This was starting to get ridiculous. Nao had been in love with Shou for months, but was far too shy to confess. He’d even deluded himself into thinking that there was no way Shou could ever like him. Wanting to help out his best friend, Saga had interrogated Shou and discovered the vocalist held similar feelings towards Nao… but also didn’t believe he had a chance with the other. Their insecurities were maddening.

“Then why don’t you just tell him you like him?” Saga had demanded.

Blushing, Shou replied, “Well… I-I don’t think he likes me back, and I’m not good enough for him anyway.”

They’re both idiots, Saga thought darkly. Both of them were too shy and insecure to tell the other about their feelings, so he’d have to take matters into his own hands. He had to get them alone first, and now seemed like the perfect time. They were on break right now, and while Nao watched Shou rehydrate with longing eyes, Tora and Hiroto were over in the corner. Tora had his guitar in hand, demonstrating an idea for a new song and wanting Hiroto’s opinion on it. Saga just had to get the two of them to leave the room so the lovebirds would be alone.

Saga went over to them. “I’m thirsty. Do you want to go get something to drink?”

Tora set his guitar aside. “Sure.”

Hiroto nodded. “I want coffee!”

Tora grimaced. “No. If you have coffee you’re going to be bouncing off the walls all day.”

“Yeah, we don’t need that.”

“Saga, did you say coffee? I’ll come get some,” Nao said, tearing his eyes away from Shou.

Saga seized the opportunity. “I’ll get you a coffee. You stay here with Shou. You wanted to talk to him, remember?” He smirked as Nao immediately looked worried and Shou looked confused.

“Oh… y-yeah,” Nao squeaked.

“I’ll leave you to it.” Saga grabbed Hiroto’s arm, seizing Tora’s sleeve with his free hand and dragging his band mates out of the practice room before kicking the door shut with his foot.

“Saga! What’s all this about?” Hiroto demanded, pulling his arm free and pouting.

“I’m so sick of Nao and Shou pining for each other because they’re too damn stupid to do anything about it! I’m hoping if we leave they might actually confess.”

Hiroto nodded. “Ohhh.”

Tora didn’t seem convinced. “I don’t know. They’re both so shy.”

“They better tell each other or I’m going to confess for them! If I have to see Nao gazing longingly at Shou again I’m going to be sick.” Saga ducked into a nearby office so he could eavesdrop on Nao and Shou, wanting to make sure personal feelings were discussed instead of video games or work.

Curious, Hiroto and Tora followed him as well. Saga had ducked down beneath the window looking into the room so that the lovebirds wouldn’t see if they happened to glance that way. Tora and Hiroto immediately began a silent fight over who would get the best spot to eavesdrop. Obviously, Tora won. Pouting, Hiroto clambered onto Saga’s back instead so he could still get a good spot. Saga was about to shove him off, but froze as Shou spoke first.

“Um… Saga said you wanted to talk to me about something?”

Nao blushed. “Y-Yeah, I do.”

 “What is it?”

“Well… I… you…”

Shou looked confused. “What?”

“Spit it out already,” Saga hissed.

“Shh!” Hiroto covered his mouth.

“You… your voice is pretty,” Nao blurted out, blushing furiously.

Shou blinked several times. “Thank you.” He looked a little flushed at receiving a compliment from the object of his desires.

Saga face palmed. “He did not just say that.”

“You might have to confess for them,” Tora said, watching their shy band mates attempt to confess their undying love.

Shou shifted awkwardly. “Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?”

“No. I-I-I have something to tell you, Shou. It’s… personal,” Nao squeaked out, blushing furiously as he looked at his feet.

Shou’s expression brightened. “I have something to tell you too.”

Nao looked relieved. “You first.”

“No you go, you started talking first.”

Nao bit his lip. “Are you sure?”

“Stop dithering,” Saga hissed, playfully biting Hiroto’s hand as he covered his mouth again. “And get off of me, you little squirrel!”

“Ow! I can’t see otherwise,” Hiroto whined.

“So?”

“Shut up!” Tora ordered. Grumbling under their breath, they stopped bickering and went back to watching their band mates.

“You go first.”

Nao took a deep breath. “W-Well I just wanted to tell you how much I care about you.”

Shou immediately turned red. “I care about you too, Nao.”

Emboldened, the drummer continued. “You’re a great friend, and I-I was wondering…” he trailed off, looking at his feet again.

 “Wondering what?”

Nao blushed, wringing his hands nervously. “If…” he trailed off and blushed more. “If y-y-you happen to… um…” he seemed to have lost the ability to speak clearly.

“If I what?”

“If you want to go see a movie with me!” Nao squeaked.

Saga face palmed again. Pathetic. He’d been so close to telling Shou he liked him.

Shou looked surprised. “Sure. When?”

Nao shifted awkwardly again, taking a deep breath as he met Shou’s eyes before blushing and looking away. “Tomorrow? But that’s n-not what I was going to say. I w-wanted to tell you something.”

Shou gently laid a hand on his shoulder. “What is it? You can tell me.”

“I-It’s something really personal.” Nao blushed furiously as he looked down at his feet, squirming awkwardly.

“Tell me. I,” Shou turned rather red as well, “have something I want to say too.”

“You do?”

“Y-Yeah.”

“Stop dawdling,” Hiroto groaned, hiding his face in Saga’s hair since it was too painful to watch.

“I…”

Shou spoke at the same time. “I…”

“I LIKE YOU!” they both burst out, staring at each other with wide, shocked eyes.

“You… like me?” Shou whispered.

Nao nodded. “I’ve wanted to say that for months. You’re just so amazing I didn’t think you’d ever want to date me.”

Shou smiled softly. “Someone perfect? I thought you were too good for me too.”

Nao blushed. “No, you’re the one who’s perfect. You have the voice of an angel, you’re so beautiful, so sweet…” he trailed off, blushing more before taking a deep breath and jumping forward to hug Shou tightly. “I really love you, Shou!”

The vocalist squeaked a little in surprised, smiling widely as he returned Nao’s embrace. “I love you too.”

Nao beamed as he snuggled closer to his new boyfriend. “I’m so happy.”

“Me too.” Shou gently stroked his hair.

“Finally,” Saga mumbled.

“Aw, they look so cute together!” Hiroto was practically bouncing with joy.

“Yes they do… now get off me!” Saga pushed the younger man off his back, ignoring Hiroto’s indignant pout.

“Toraaaa, he shoved me,” Hiroto whined.

Tora absently patted his head. “You’ll be fine.”

Grumbling, Hiroto got to his feet. “You two are mean.”

Saga ignored him, blinking at the new couple as a sudden thought reached him. Tora seemed to be thinking the same thing.

“They’re both total ukes. How is this going to work out?”

“Tora! Get your mind out of the gutter.” Hiroto rolled his eyes. “It’s not like they’re going to screw the second when they get out of work.”

Saga snorted. “You never know.”

“Well if they do, I kind of think Nao would top since he is the leader. He can be dominating. But Shou can too,” Hiroto added, looking thoughtful.

 “Oh who’s being a perv now?” Saga snorted, tickling Hiroto’s sides.

The guitarist giggled and smacked his hand away. “I was just commenting!”

Tora continued, “I still can’t see either of them topping. It took Nao ten minutes to finally admit he likes Shou, and Shou blushed so much he could rival a tomato.”

Saga shrugged. “We’ll see. I’m just glad I don’t have to see another longing look from either of them ever again.”

“Yeah, that was getting annoying. But they’re together now. I’m going to go congratulate them!” Hiroto scampered out of the office, going back into the practice room and joining the still-hugging Shou and Nao in a group hug, which made them blush more.

“Let’s go get our drinks. They’re going to be so fluffy today it’ll be painful to watch,” Saga said, snickering as he got to his feet.

Tora made a face. “Let’s.” The two of them left the office, unable to resist an opportunity to make Nao and Shou blush even more by shouting “FINALLY!” at them.

“I told you all you had to do was tell Shou you loved him,” Saga added, looking smug.

Nao flushed and hid his face in Shou’s shoulder. “Well, he knows now.”

“About time. Everyone else knew,” Tora said, tugging Hiroto out of the room so Shou and Nao could be alone. Really alone this time since neither of them wanted to eavesdrop on their band mates this time.

LOL yes. Thus NaoxShou only works in crack like this or fluff like snuggling on the couch and watching a movie.
